It only happens every few hours and lasts 15 minutes making it nigh impossible for people with limited time to catch.
Once I did finally manage to be there, there really wasn’t any explanation of what to do, so I kicked a few fish, attacked a few steaks and hoped for the best.
Sadly I didn’t get credit towards the weekly quest and at this point there is still no clear answer as to what to do other than try again and hope for the best.
On paper this looked like a fun idea, in practice its just a terrible experience.
At a minimum, if its going to be a weekly, at least make it happen every hour please.
it tells you want to do…plus there is a quest there as well.
And blizzard is not going to make that every hour. You had an entire week to do it.
Also, I might add although I still don’t care for the extras besides rep in there it was nice on my alts just to do one feast and have the entire weekly done, rep and all.
For the weekly quest you need to accomplish 5 tasks. During the feast Big Kinook will select 4-5 players (every 30s to few min depending how many players are there) and give them a task to complete. Once you get your task, complete it, and it counts for 1 task of the 5 required.
Most are easy, some will require you to look for NPCs in Iskaara or objects on the ground. Perhaps fish from clearly marked pools.
They need to fix orders not going out if there’s a hundred people there. It’s dumb that you could show up right when it starts and be lucky to get 4 orders during the entire duration.
If you can do this once when there isn’t a ton of players around it’s a lot easier to sort out. After that you understand how it works and can get it done when it’s just a mass of characters.
It’s kind of a pain doing this on one character, but doable. But getting this done on alts is really where this requirement really starts to get harder to complete. Having to plan around them when you’re doing other things, not even in just wow but IRL, gets to be a pain.
The feast should be kept an optional thing, not part of the weekly imo.
And yes, I recommend learning how to do the feast properly in the future, even without the weekly quest thing, which I agree is not good design.
No, never heard of an alarm. Or never seen the wowhead timers, or can even understand the concept of doing things at set times. Thanks for the highly constructive and thorough response that doesn’t change anything I said.
If it got changed to every hour there would be way more issues with people and all the toys and everythings else they drop around it.
You really want even more lagging OP cuz that’s a good way for it to happen, to the point every hour the whole space there would be un playable for everyone.
Weekly is just fine if you can catch it without 2000 toys being deployed.
I think that removing toys in the area would be an obvious help in dealing with the issue of lag, but still more so for me doing it multiple times with alts is when it becomes just annoying.
I really think the “do 5 world quests” or maybe even “participate in a storm event” thing would be better cause they can be done at any time and you don’t have to plan your day around it.
